THERMOSTAT BELLOWS 2 Sheets-Sheet 2 INVENTOR. THEODORE A. 5T CZA/E 2.7985507 THERMOSTAT BELLOWS .Theodore met. vClair, South-Euclid. Ohio, assignor to The "WeatherheadCornpany, Cleveland ohio, a corporation 9 Ohio Application September 21, 1953,-Serial No. 381,404 ZClaims. .(Cl. l 37-.--796) This invention relates generally to bellows and more particularly to bellows adapted for use in the automotive thermostats and similar applications.
Prior art bellows generally provide a senes of collapsible foldsin the side walls of the bellows which permit the bellows to extend and contract axially without stretching the material of the bellows and which also serves to resist radical expansion of the bellows material perpendicular to the desired direction of flexibility. In
au omo v i hemiostat for us .i controlling the w of the cooling liquid in the internal eombustion engine it has been common to form the bellows of relatively thi m al o me wit a ser es o an ld r ribs o th s e walls- Sueh bellows a difiieult to manuact r andi heretore expensi e As deal o o h eeadea a temptinatq r du e t u cost f such H zbell ws without saer fiein a y o t desirable p p t ee- B he e attempt have me withlittle s cc s i a Pr n ipal objec of hi inven to p o de a bel w which len itse t lo os high pro o met o o manu ctu e and h h w p ide a o trouble-free service life.
It is another object of this invention to provide a bellows which is adapted for use in automotive thermostats which readily .lends itself to lowlcost high production .methods of manufacture.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a method of moulding bellows suitable for use in automotive thermostats or similar applications wherein the bellows is axially expandible and resistant to stresses in all other directions.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a generally cup-shaped bellows having side walls formed with a helical rib or fold.
It is still another object of this invention to provide a generally cylindrical bellows formed of plastic material which is relatively flexible and non-elastic wherein the side walls are formed with a helical rib or fold that permits axial expansion but resists radial stresses.
It is still another object of this invention to provide an automotive thermostat which includes a generally cylindrical bellows formed with side walls having a helical rib or fold therein.
The foregoing and other objects and advantages will become apparent in view of the following description taken in conjunction with the drawings, wherein:
Fig. 1 shows a bellows according to this invention applied to an automobile thermostat;
Fig. 2 is a View partially in cross section disclosing the structure of a bellows according to this invention;
Fig. 3 is a plan view with parts removed along 3-3 of Fig. 1; and
Fig. 4 is a cross sectional view of the preferred form of dies used to mould a bellows according to this invention.
A bellows according to this invention comprises a hollow cylinder formed of flexible material wherein the walls of the cylinder are provided with a helical rib or fold bellows. provided with threads which supply means for mounting which permits axial deformation of the bellows while resisting radial stresses.
In the preferred embodiment of thisjinvention the bellows is moulded of ,a flexible material which is relatively non-elastic by injeeting the material into a mould cavity formed by a female die having helical convolutions in the side walls and a male die positioned within the female (fle -having similar'he'lical convolutions along its circumferential surfaces. The cavity between the surfaces of t he male and female dies is substantially uniform in thickness forming helical convolutions which are relatively deep. The material from which the bellows is moulded is preferablytflexible and relatively non-elastic.
It has been found that the material known as nylon eifeetively ser-Ves in this application since it has the physical properties 'mentioned above and since it is able to withstand the fluids to which the bellows are exposed as well as providing a durable long lasting bellows. Nylon may be described ,as a high molecular weight straight chain polyarnide resulting from the condensation of a diarnine and a dibasic acid. This material is described .in'United States Patent No. 2,216,835.
Referring to Fig. 1 an automotive thermostat according to this invention includes a base or body 10having a e e a y cup-shape wit a e-e tr nt end wall 11. The
body 10 is providedwith an annular valve seat 12 against in the side -iwall thereef mounted at its: lower end in a bracket 17 whiehposit-ions the lower end of bellows relative tothe valve seat- 12. Thebracket 17 has a portion exte inaup e dly ecu ng th cke to h y 0- The upper end of thebellows 14 is closed bythe end plate 18 which is mounted on bellows 14 by spinning the flange 19 around the bead 21 formed at the open endof the A stern 22is mounted on the end '18 andis the valve member 13.
The end wall 11 is apertured at 23 with large aperturesto provide ,for flow through the valve seat when the valve is open. The end wall 11 is also provided with eent a yl eated ap ure 2 th ug whi h the st m 22 slides when operated by the bellows. In the preferred embodiment the stem 22 is provided with a through-bore 26 through which thermostat liquid is inserted during the assembly of the thermostat. The through bore 26 is then closed by the ball 27 and is soldered as at 28 thereby permanently sealing the bellows cavity with the liquid therein.
The liquid within the bellows is chosen to provide the desired thermostatic characteristics and must therefore have the desired vapor pressure and boiling point so that the thermostatic valve will be open or closed as the condition demands. When the liquid within the bellows is heated to the proper temperature the vapor pressure thereby developed causes the bellows to expand axially opening the valve. When the liquid within the bellows is cooled the vapor pressure is reduced and the bellows contracts axially thereby closing the valve. Various liquids may be used depending upon the characteristics desired in the thermostat. Among the liquids which can be used is a mixture of methyl alcohol and water or mixtures of isopropyl alcohol and isobutyl alcohol. It should be understood that these liquids are only set forth by way of example and are not intended to limit this in vention to their use.
The bellows 14 can be formed as a cup having substantially perpendicular side walls or may as shown in the drawings be formed with a slight taper with the wide portion adjacent to the bead 19. This taper facilitates the removal of the male die from the mould.
In the preferred form of dies the male die is formed 3 with corresponding recessed helical convolutions. Referring to Fig. 4 the female dies 31 and 32 are adapted to be separated. However, it would be within the scope of this invention to form the female die as a single die. The male die 33 projects into the cavity of the female dies and provides the bellows cavity which is generally cup-shaped. The passage 34 is formed at the center of the assembled female dies and provides an opening into which the material being molded is inserted into the dies. The female dies are preferably formed with a substantially radially projecting cavity 36 which results in the lug or ear 37 on the bellows. This ear prevents the rotation of the bellows with the male die as the male die is threaded out of the bellows. The method of molding the bellows according to this invention is quite simple and merely requires the injection of the material to be molded into the assembled dies. After the material has solidified in the dies the male die is rotated causing the male die to be withdrawn along the helical convolutions after which the female dies may be separated and the bellows removed.
Those skilled in the art will understand that by utilizing the structure disclosed it is possible to mold bellows which are axially expandible of relatively non-elastic materials since it is not necessary to remove the moulded bellows over the ribs and it is not necessary to provide a collapsible male die. Although the bellows according to this invention is particularly well adapted for use in A automotive thermostats it should be understood that this bellows could be used in other applications wherein axial flexibility is desired along with relative radial rigidity.
Having completed a detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention so that others I 1.
